He has been writing poems and stories since childhood, publishing in high school and college journals and agency newsletters, and has recorded an album of original songs, A Single Essence.

His varied work experience as a grocery clerk, carpenter, vineyard manager, minister, and truck driver provides a rich background for his writing.
